Why refund_charge needs a policy

Refunding a charge is a financial operation that moves money and alters monetary obligations. Even though refunds are reversible (the original charge can be re-applied), the tool itself executes an irreversible financial commitment in the moment it is called. Misuse could cause unwanted refunds, revenue loss, or disputes.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'refund_charge' and description states 'Refund a charge' — this directly commits a financial transaction that reverses a monetary charge, moving money back to a customer.

POLICY

How to control refund_charge

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Afip, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for refund_charge:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "refund_charge": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to refund_charge is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
